No. 2:15-cv-2572 DB P

v.
ANDRE MATEVOUSIAN,
Respondent.

23
24

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these cases are related within the

25

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). The actions involve the same transaction or event and similar

26

questions of fact and law. Accordingly, assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to

27

effect a substantial saving of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties.

28

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely has the
1

1

result that the actions are assigned to the same magistrate judge; no consolidation of the actions is

2

effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally assigned to the judge

3

or magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

4

Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the action denominated as 2:15-cv-2572 DB P is

5

reassigned to Magistrate Judge Allison Claire 1 for all further proceedings, and any dates currently

6

set in the reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on documents

7

filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as No. 2:15-cv-2572 AC P.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in
the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.

1

Because the parties in 2:15-cv-2572 DB P have consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction (ECF
Nos. 7, 11), that case will be reassigned only as to the magistrate judge and will not be assigned
to the district judge presiding over 2:99-cr-0433 WBS AC.
